CIEE Study Abroad Alternative to Summer Study in Thailand
CIEE is still accepting applications for our Summer Cambodian Studies program. This program is a great option for students looking to experience Southeast Asian culture who were previously enrolled in a summer program option in Thailand and are looking for another study abroad option in that region. The seven-week summer program in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh is designed for students to learn the history of Cambodia – from the ancient times to 1970s – and come to understand it as a case study for geopolitical issues such as nation-building, radicalism, corruption, democracy, and economic development.

CIEE Evaluation Quick Find
CIEE is committed to evaluating and publishing our results from a number of perspectives. On-site evaluations are conducted by faculty and study abroad administrators from the CIEE Academic Consortium, reports are written by the CIEE Program Directors with input from resident staff overseas, and students evaluate their experience through an online evaluation instrument.
To help you access and review these evaluations, we’ve created the Evaluation Quick Find, which will allow you to search for evaluations by country, city, program, and/or evaluation type.
